Abstract: We consider a modified Boltzmann equation which contains, together with the collision operator, an additional drift term that is characterized by a matrix A. Furthermore, we consider a Maxwell gas, where the collision kernel has an angular singularity. Such an equation is used in the study of homoenergetic solutions to the Boltzmann equation. Our goal is to prove that, under smallness assumptions on the drift term, the longtime asymptotics is given by self-similar solutions. We work in the framework of measure-valued solutions with finite moments of order p > 2 and show existence, uniqueness and stability of these self-similar solutions for sufficiently small A. Furthermore, we prove that they have finite moments of arbitrary order if A is small enough. In addition, the singular collision operator allows to prove smoothness of these self-similar solutions. Finally, we study the asymptotics of particular homoenergetic solutions. This extends previous results from the cutoff case to non-cutoff Maxwell gases.
